Jeff Darlington gave an account of Scottie Scheffler's encounter with police. Scottie Scheffler, a golfer, was arrested by Louisville Metro Police on Friday morning after attempting to drive into the entrance of the golf club where thePGA Championship is being held. A man was killed by a shuttle bus outside of a golf course. The assault charge is a felony; the others are misdemeanors. Major Logsdon said that he was released at 8:40 a.m. Friday without bail. Steven Romines said it would be up to Scottie if he plays in the second round.
The police officer told the driver to stop, but he continued to drive. At one point, an officer was attached to the side of the car. The officer reached into the vehicle to open the door, and when he was done, he put him in handcuffs. The officer told him to get out of the way. "There's nothing you can do about it, right now, he's going to jail, and there's nothing you can do about it", said Romines. He was getting ready for his tee time. He was unaware that the traffic patterns had changed because of a traffic accident down the road. The officer who attempted to stop Scheffler wasn't part of the regular event traffic detail at the golf club, according to Romines. They are allowed to go through, that's why they have thecredential and wave-through. He did exactly what he was told to do, and we will deal with it as it progresses. The start of the second round was delayed after a shuttle bus struck and killed a pedestrian outside the golf club. The man was trying to cross the road when he was hit by a bus. A worker with one of our vendors was tragically struck and killed by a shuttle bus outside of the golf club. Several police and first responders were still at the scene of the accident. The second round was supposed to start at 7:30 a.m.
